The White Hart

Main Road, FYFIELD, Nr Abingdon, OX13 5LW

The White Hart is a 15th-century converted chantry house steeped in history. The original soaring eaves and beams, huge stone-flanked windows and flagstones are overlooked by a minstrels' gallery, now the main restaurant. With over 50 wines on the list, sixteen of which are sold by the glass, there's something for everyone. A good range of cask-conditioned ales always includes something from Hook Norton. Awarded two AA Rosettes for their food, owners Mark and Kay Chandler are steadfast in their pursuit of fresh, seasonal food from trusted local suppliers and their own garden, which provides a regular supply of fruit, vegetables and herbs. Mark changes his menus daily to offer smoked duck, fennel and blood orange salad; slow-roasted belly of Kelmscott pork, apple, celeriac purée and cider jus; plum and almond tart and Armagnac ice cream. Other attractions are May and August Bank Holiday beer festivals, and takeaway fish and chips on Thursdays.

Superb from start to finish. Fantastic food, building and service - they could not do enough for us. The meal was the best we have had in ages - better than a Michelin starred restaurant we went to recently, at a fraction of the price. We will definitely be returning. It gets very busy though so booking is advisable.

What a great find - this place is one in a million. Did the previous reviewer go to the right place?! We had really well executed tasty food, faultless service and a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. A truly exceptional meal! I would recommend it to anyone. It gets busy though so I would suggest booking.
